Chapter 937 Judy's Brief Memories
"This is something that a pickpocket named Kurobei left on the victim after committing a crime," Takagi Shigeru paused and found a more appropriate description, "Is it a souvenir?"
"Huh? Pickpocket?" Benzaki Kirihei shouted in surprise, "So my wallet was stolen. I thought I dropped it somewhere, so I was thinking of asking the police if anyone had found it when I got back."
The woman's name was Danno Raiko. She checked her bag in a panic and found that her wallet had been stolen at some point.
The old man, on the other hand, did not show much emotion. He said that there was nothing important in his wallet and it didn't matter even if he gave it to a pickpocket.
But the police called them here because they caught the pickpocket?
Inspector Megure explained in a deep voice that the person was found, but it was a dead body.
The three of them showed shocked expressions.
"We now suspect that the murderer is among you three."
"What? Us?" Benzaki Kirihei's face changed drastically.
The old man also had an expression of disbelief.
Danno Raiko widened her eyes and said, "We should be the victims, right?"
Inspector Megure did not explain too much, but said: "In short, we need to search your body first, as well as your belongings and cell phones."
Finally, he added: "Of course you can refuse, and we can apply for an investigation order, but that will be more troublesome."
After hearing this, Danno Raiko immediately handed over her bag and said, "You can check it if you want. But my skin is oily so my phone will be sticky, so don't complain!"
Mr. Benzaki Kiriwa also expressed his willingness to cooperate.
Judy's expression shifted slightly when she heard the woman's words.
Conan noticed this and immediately asked, "Did Teacher Judy notice anything?"
Yuya looked over as well.
"No," Judy shook her head, but a look of reminiscence appeared on her face. "I just recalled that when you were in the hospital, in order to find the hidden members of the organization, you deliberately dropped your phone and let the other party pick it up."
She pinched her chin and recalled: "I remember the first one was a fat man, who also had oily skin? Then the second one was a member of the organization, and the last one was an old man who had a heart disease so he couldn't touch electronic products, and then..."
Afterwards, Conan suggested that someone he knew secretly send Mizunashi Rena away by car, but was stopped by Shuichi Akai.
At that time, Shuichi Akai pressed Conan's mobile phone and left his fingerprints on it.
This fingerprint was also used by the FBI to confirm the identity of the person who was killed in the explosion in Laiye Mountain.
Conan panicked and glanced at Yuya, only to find that he was concentrating on thinking quietly. He could only speak to forcibly interrupt Judy's memories: "Um, um, Teacher Judy, that incident has nothing to do with the current case, right?"
If Judy is allowed to continue recalling, she might find something wrong, so it is better to stop her immediately.
Judy came back to her senses and forced a smile, "That's true. The appearance of Scar Akai made me waver, but unfortunately... I have to cheer myself up!"
After saying that, he clenched his fists again, as if to cheer himself up.
She walked over to Yuya and asked, "What's going on, Yuya-kun, do you see any problems?"
Yuya crossed his arms, pinched his chin and said thoughtfully, "According to the testimony of the eyewitnesses, the murderer was holding a 30-centimeter thin wooden stick at the time, which was not seen on these three people. Although the old man named Sakano Shigeto was leaning on a cane, the length did not match, and it did not look like it could be disassembled at will."
"As for the way of walking..."
Just at this moment, a police officer was checking the old man's crutches. Without the support of the crutches, the old man immediately lost his balance and squatted down.
"Although the murderer was dragging his feet and looked like he had difficulty moving when he left, he was not using a cane. The old man couldn't walk without a cane. Moreover, the hats they wore were different. They were not knitted hats that women wear, but more like mountaineering hats."
Yuya looked at Benzaki Kirei who was coughing from time to time: "Also, the murderer didn't cough constantly like that at the time."
Miyano Shiho proposed a hypothesis: "Is it possible that he was faking a cold to confuse the public?"
"It is indeed possible," Yuya glanced at Benzaki Kirei and said thoughtfully, "It was probably a coincidence that the other party met us. They didn't know that we would be involved in the case. They shouldn't have gone to this extent."
"As for the other two..." Yuya frowned slightly and looked at Inspector Megure, "Inspector, have you found the murder weapon?"
Inspector Megure shook his head. Chiba and Shin, who had just gone to search the nearby area, had reported that they had searched all the places where the murder weapon might have been abandoned, but had not found anything related to the murderer.
Moreover, the three people’s mobile phones did not have software installed that could track transmitter signals. Although it is possible that the software was deleted or hidden in advance, a search warrant would be required to further examine the mobile phones.
After all, there is a lot of personal privacy in the mobile phone, and they can only see some superficial things now.
Youye waved to the three little kids, and they immediately ran over.
"Brother Yuya, is there anything wrong?" Ayumi asked, tilting her head back.
Youye touched her head and asked, "I want to ask, when you first met those three people, and when you just went to find them, did you do anything strange?"
"Strange behavior?" Mitsuhiko immediately became serious.
Yuya nodded and prompted, "Like whether you handed something over to someone else or something."
Ayumi recalled carefully and denied it: "No, the three of them acted alone. The old man also told us that if we get a good visa, we must take it back safely."
Yuya nodded slightly, he also knew this: "Where is that big sister?"
What Yuya actually wanted to know was whether the three little kids found anything when they went looking for them.
That Danno Laizi had no contact with Youya and the others during the whole process, and only spoke to the three little kids at the prayer place.
Yuanta said: "The sister told us that if we want Kamissa to hear our wishes, we should shake the prayer bell vigorously so that the sound can be transmitted to the god."
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko both nodded, indicating that Genta was right.
Yuya touched his chin and said, "Although I don't know what the uncle did before he met us, he said that he washed his hands at Mitarashi, which means he should have come to the shrine earlier than us."
In this case, at first glance, there is nothing suspicious about the behavior of these people.
So, who is the murderer?
